Almost $500 Million in Food Aid at Risk of Spoiling

Wednesday, February 12, 2025

Almost $500 million in food aid is at risk of spoilage as it sits in ports, ships and warehouses after funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, was paused by the Trump administration, according to a Feb. 10 report from a government watchdog.

Empty promises of transparency today from Elon and Trump at the White House. Their words don't mean much when you fire someone for accurately reporting that $500 million in food aid was going to spoil because of DOGE.

Trump is bringing starvation.

I don't really get tired of saying that I told you so.

Onwards to economic tribulation and, or course, war and plague.

Watchdog ousted after reporting that Trump administration is letting $489M in food aid rot

This is typical for Putin's thin-skinned bitch.

"Trump is bringing starvation."

The left would be wiser to pick up on the parallels between Trump and Mao and run with it. But they probably won't.

"I don't really get tired of saying that I told you so."

We know. That's the only function you serve right now.

That Elon Musk sure is causin waste and cruelty. Don't send a Nazi to oversee aid for starving people.

BTW what happens when a Nazi appoints another Nazi to audit American food aid? Starvation happens! It's what Nazis do best!

"We know. That's the only function you serve right now."

Prediction: Fox News hosts will be claiming they never shilled for Trump. As will Sentinel and a few others here. None of the Fox News liars or MAGA posters here will ever admit responsibiiy for anything Trump or Musk do!

Better to let all this food spoil than one brown person or illegal alien get fed.

It's exactly what Jesus would do. Right?

Feeding the people glorifies the Lord.

Starving the people glorifies Trumpy.

GFY, Dementia Danni. Pointing out how some of the pointless tactics are loser behavior is not shilling for Trump.

mushroomSStamp going with the low blow.

Perhaps the food could be rerouted to the Farmers and Ranchers DjT rolled... and took their lunch money.

At least Leon doesn't prance about claiming to be a Christian, rather than the ogre that he is. Not feeding hungry people will not be justified to St. Peter, when these MAGA functionaries arrive at the pearly gates ...

Yep... Herr Musk prances around saluting large groups of Nazis. In Germany, no less.

He'll prolly offer St. Peter a ride to Mars, and assume that that will werk.

If Danni got dementia she's still be worth ten sentinels.

What a pile you are, swastika boy. Go binge some Dr Who and cry about it.

Ship it Mar-A-Lardo, the fat bloated idiot will take care of it.

Trumpet Noisemaker and Muskrat would prefer that all the world starve rather than actually help a SUFFERING HUMAN SOUL.
A whole lot of us dying? Affects them not at all. They could CARE LESS.
What you sow, you shall reap. YOU SIRS ARE GOING TO REAP A WHIRLWIND AT SOME POINT.
Creating a humanitarian crisis.
Folks I know. More than 1 isolated incident. Several folks i know. Voted for this. Now sitting here utterly surprised that THEY, the ones who CHOSE THIS, lost their government job last week. His wife......works for the Department of Education. I'm sure she is losing hers too. IEP teacher and all.
Both late 50's early 60's.
In debt up to their eyeballs.
Ageism is a very real thing.
No one will hire them. They will be lucky to get a minimum wage job anywhere at their ages.
AND THEY BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES AND ARE JUST SO SURPRISED.
He is doing EVERYTHING he told you he was going to do before the election.
You didn't care when it was only harming others and you were sitting pretty.
What you wished on others......came for you.
Its awful for everyone. Only ones this is good for. Billianaires.
You all chose this for all of us. We TRIED to tell you.

Hmmm. "Christians for hunger" just doesn't have the right ring to it. How about 'Christians for dietary moderation'? Hey, MAGA functionaries and shills--how does that sound? Clear conscience now? Asking for a hungry man, who grows more angry by the day...

Everything trump touches Dies.

The US HAD a good run.

Sentinel is the Japanese tourist, stunned at America's reaction to him giving everyone the middle finger.

I mean...in Japan, that's a FRIENDLY gesture!!!
